All the snow below 12,750ft melted today. Higher up there were maybe 10-12 short snowfields to cross. In the morning (I started at 5:40am) the snowfields were solid and only once when I was skirting Point 13,363 did I think I should put on spikes. I kept them in my pack, however. There was very little snow on the final push to the summit. On the way down (summited at 9:20) the snow was definitely softer and I post holed for maybe 30-40 yards total. No spikes, no snowshoes, no gaiters. |
